      Know Your Credit Score
      Before you apply for a loan, you really need to know what is on your credit score and what activity is showing up on your credit report. You can order a FREE credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus by going to www.annualcreditreport.com. I have put a link in the resource section below. Make sure you get a copy of your credit report from Equifax, Transunion, and Experian. Do not just order your credit report from one of the credit bureaus because credit reporting is not uniform across the board. Some items may show up on one report and not the other and you will need a complete and accurate of your credit history before you apply for a loan.

      Clean up Your Credit Report
      If you find any judgments,unpaid debt, or incorrect information on your credit report you should take immediate action and clean your credit report up before you apply for a loan. I have listed several resources in the resource section below if you need information about fixing your credit yourself or removing a judgment from your credit report. You should dispute any inaccurate credit history information. Take your time and look over your credit report with a fine tooth comb. I have had six or seven inaccuracies removed from my report alone and several others removed from my husbands credit report. Disputing inaccurate information will help you tremendously in your efforts to clean up your credit history. Please use the links below for more information.
